BARBER-CHAIR ATTACHMENT.

Application filed December This invention relates toa hanger attachment designed primarily for use in connection with barber chairs, but it is to be under stood that a hanger attachment, in accordance with this invention, may be employed for any purposes for which it is found applicable, and the invention has for its object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a hanger attachment for supporting or suspending the head rest of a barbers chair when such rest is detached fromthe chair in order to cut a customers hair, and further whereby the hanger attachment is positioned relative to the/chair so that it will he in convenient reach of a barber when it is desired to suspend the head rest from the attachment or to remove the heat rest from the attachment when desired.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth,

' a hanger attachment for the purpose referred to including means for receiving a paper roll carried by the head rest of a barbers chair when the head rest is supported by the attachment. i

' Further objects of the invention are to provide, in a manner as hereinafter setforth, a hanger attachment for the purpose referred to which is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable, compact, thoroughly efficient in its use, readily installed with respect to the barbers chair, conveniently reached by the barber when he desires to support said rest above thebarloer chair by the attachment, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, whereinis shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended. In t the drawings wherein like refer euce characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several. views l igure 1 is a fragmentary view in elevation illustrating a l)21l'lJQ1"S chair and showing the adaptation therewith of a hanger attachment in accordance with this invention, and further illustrating in dotted lines the head rest for the chairsupported by the attachment.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the attachment. j a

Referring to the drawings in detail 1 denotes the seat frame, 2 the seat, 3 the back, 4: the arms and 5 the pedestal of a barber s chair. The head rest of the barber chair is shown in dotted lines in Figure 1 and is indicated at 6. Thehead rest 6 is of that type carrying a roll of paper, indicated at 7.

A hanger attachment, in accordance with this invention, is formed of a single length of wire of appropriate diameter and which is bent to provide a pair of oppositely extending horizontally disposed anchoring portions 7, 8, a pair of upstanding coupling portions 9, 10, a head rest supporting portion 111 and a pair of connecting portions 12, 1.3 between the head rest supporting portion anduthe coupling portions 9, 10.

Each anchoring portion coi'nprises an arm 14 projecting rearwardly from a coupling portion and at a downward and an outward inclination. The arm 14. at its rear end terminates in an inwardly extemlinglmok 15. Each coupling portion is of inverted yoke shape and comprises a top arm 16, a rear arm 17 and a front arm 18. The arm 17 is of less height than the arm 18 and the forward end of an arm 1 1 merges into the lower end of an arm 17. The arm 18 depends asubstantial distance below the lower end of the arm 17 and merges into a connecting portion 13 which is upwardly inclined and comprises a semi-circular rear part 19 which merges into an upwardly extending arm :20 l'iaving its forward end of semi-circular curvature as indicated at 21..

The head rest supporting port-ion 11 is of semi-oval contour, extends rearwardly from the curved part 21 at a downward inclination and is spaced from and over the arm 20. The portion 21 includes a pair of oppositely extending inclined arms 22, 23 connected to gether by a curved coupling portion 241-. at the rear ends of the arms 22, 23. The cou pling portion 24. is spaced a substantial distance forwardly with respect to the arms 18 of the coupling portions 9, 1,0.

The attachment when connected to the barber chair projects rearwardly tllerel'roin and with reference to Figure 2 the anchoring portions 7, ,8 are connected to the frame 1, the coupling portions 9, 10 are mounted, on the body or the frame 1, and the position of the coupling portions 9, and anchoring portions 7, 8 with respect to the chair, as shown in Figure 2, will detachably securefthe. at-

tachment in position for the purpose of supporting or suspending the head rest 6; The

head rest 6 is provided with the roll 7 and thelatter is arranged between the coupling portion 24 and the forward arms 18 ot' the coupling portions 9, 10. See Figure 1.

The advantage possessed by the deviceis in ,having a handy place on which to suspend or depend, support or hang the head rest when the same is'to be removed from the barbers chair. for a haircut; When the device is not employechitwould: be necessary forthe bar'- ber upon taking out thehead rest to find a place either on the mirror counter on which are the tonics, etc., or table to place the head rest thereon, and it usually requires the barv ber walkin around the chair and makin a place'on which to position the head rest, and when he desires tore-position the head rest on the chair, in most instances he has to look under a'to'wel or paper to find the same. By employing an attachment in accordance with this invention, the barber can remove the stood, and although the preferred embodiment'o'f'the invention is as illustrated and described yet it is to be understood that changes in the'details of construction can he I 1. A hanger attachment for the purpose I set forth comprising a unitary body formed had which fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.

' What I claim is:
